Symptoms

Stems thin, leaves erect; early defoliation of basal leaves

Broad Bean Plants Phosphorus deficiency

Symptoms

Young growth deformed, young stems and petioles wilt and growing points die; leaflets near growing points fail to expand, distorted and hooked, and tips die.

Broad Bean Plants Calcium deficiency

Symptoms

Pods deformed, wilted and blackened; seeds fail to develop.

Broad Bean Pods and Seeds Calcium deficiency

Symptoms

Central intervenalchlorosis, margins green

Broad Bean Leaves Magnesium deficiency

Symptoms

Internodes short; leaves dark brown marginal scorch and margins curled forward

Broad Bean Shoot Potassium deficiency

Symptoms

Brown lesions in centers of cotyledons, similar "Marsh Spot" in peas

Broad Bean Seeds Manganese deficiency

Symptoms

Stems somewhat stiff; growing points die and lateral growths develop from bases of shoots; leaves slight intervenal chlorosis
